Former provincial health head Dr Sibongile Zungu is taking KwaZulu Natal to court after it failed to renew her contract.
News 24 reports that Zungu was first appointed as the head of Kwazulu Natal's health department back in 2009, and her five year contract with the province expired in August.
It was renewed on a monthly basis, ands he would have been reappointed for another five years but the National Education, Health and Allied Workers Union levelled allegations of corruption and mismanagement against her.
In December her contract was renewed for three months while an inquiry headed by Professor Fikile Ndaki and Mimie Memka investigated.
The premier has not yet received that report, and nor has it been made public.
That contract ended in March, and hasn't been renewed for April.
